PASTOR MAKES ANOTHER PLEA FOR UNITY OF MINISTRY Urges The United Support Of Simmons University; Unity Against Vice And Crime, In Saving Of Souls And In Business Rev. I. Garland Penn, Jr., the young pastor of the Jackson St., M. E. Church has been a persistent advocate a getting together, a better understanding between the ministers of the different denominations of Louisville. He has urged unity on issues which are vital to the life of the race. The article carried here, from his pen, came last week by special delivery, but too late for that issue. It is the third that the romer president of the Inter-denominational Ministerial alliance has written on the subject, and follows:
When the President of the Inter-denominational Alliance appeared in person at the West Chestnut St. Baptist Church on Monday morning following publication of my last article, and made an appeal for the two ministerial Alliances to unite on the program outlined or o ne similar, what happened????
We have always believed t hat SIMMONS UNIVERSITY should have the united support of all the colored people of the city. Some have made personal donations to worthy students and in the present campaign for $250,000, we hope to be able to help push forward for "Greater Simmons".
But my good Baptist brethren, if we can get together on ONE issue, we can get together on OTHERS. If at this time we had, as colored ministers of Louisville, a united body meeting at least once a month understanding - [Photo] REV I. GARLAND PENN, JR. Pastor Jackson St., M. E. Church - each other, it would be easy on the part of our people to put over this or any other campaign for race uplift. Under the present plan, one Alliance pulling one way and the other another way, will forever hinder the race in Louisville in making progress.
What about a united ministry in a campaign against vice and crime?
What papers are carrying the big headlines "$250,000 for Simmons University?" Why not support the Negro press?
I have a case before me now of an aged Negro woman who had been in a white Insurance Company for twenty-three years, she became ill, fell behind two weeks, (total 50 cents) and this company canceled her policy for nonpayment. This is just one of the many cases happening each day in Louisville. What about a united ministry back of Negro insurance companies?
It is said Louisville has 27,000 colored voters. How many of these deposit their earnings in Negro banks? Why can't we get together on the above named program, will the Baptist ministers answer?
Why can't we get together in a campaign for "saving of souls" as well as for the training of mind and heart?
The proposition is just this, if the white ministers of Louisville can come together once a month and study together, issues that effect their race, the Negro minister can do the same.
A joint meeting we advocate once a month of all colored ministers in Louisville and vicinity.
Now is the time--Let's get together We welcome an answer.

BLACK AND WHITE AROUSED FOR SIMMONS 10,000 CROWD KOSAIR AUDITORIUM IN INTEREST OF $250,000 DRIVE Eloquent Speeches Of Chairmen Pirkey And Wright, And Singing Of Students Thrill And Inspire Great Assemblage Kosair Auditorium on Broadway St., was taxed as never before in its history Monday night when over 10,000 persons, white and black assembled at the call of leaders of the Simmons University Drive for $250,000, to increase the educational facilities of the institution. Not only was the assemblage the greatest, more than two hundred being turned away because of lack of accomodation in the spacious auditorium, but the program which consisted of popular folk songs by the University chorus of several hundred voices under the direction of Mrs. Mamie Steward, quartette selections [illegible] the University Four, the Smiley Quartette and special solo selections by [illegible] Lizzie Pierce, and Mr. H.B. [illegible] was of the highest order and [illegible] decided hit with the large audience number after number evoking [illegible] longed applause.

Pirkey, who presided over the meeting in his able speech in behalf of the University and Negro education generally. Dr. Pirkey, who is chairman of the white committee of the campaign, assure
 d his hearers that the $250,000 would be raised, that the white people of Louisville had the money and would give it. That their years of opportunity and advantage warranted their giving several times more than the subscription of the colored citizens. Attorney Wright Speaks The review of the work of the school during the forty-three years of its existence, outlining its plans on the completion of the $250,000 building fund campaign by Dr. C.H. Parrish was followed by the splendid speech of Mr. W.H. Wright, a graduate of the University, leading attorney, president of the American Mutual Saving Bank, and the foremost financier and business man in Kentucky. Mr. Wright who is chairman of the colored committee of the campaign, told of the departure of local colored boys to the Northern states because they could not be taken care of in Kentucky. "The boys that leave Louisville and Kentucky to get an education elsewhere will, in most cases, never come back", he said. "The old men 
 are dying off and the young men are leaving. This causes a depreciation in the standard of colored citizenship of Louisville which can only be alleviated by the enlargement of our institutions of learning. Just to show the sincerity that these students are manifesting, $19,000 has already been subscribed to the campaign fund." He concluded by citing an instance where a colored girl, working in an office, had given her entire Christmas saving to the cause. Dr. E.R. Mullins stated that the campaign realy placed Simmons University on the map, and that the results would reach to the very borders of the colored race. He added that it would uplift civilization and citizenship to such an extent that public charities, crime and the race puestion would cease to be problems. He added, that education would make the Negro think and act wisely in voting and in al matters of a community in which all citizens need to be concerned. Prof. Reuben Post Halleck spoke on the Welfare Association 
 and the conditions in Europe at the present time. Mr. John Chandler, a member of the committee, said:"We will not have a race problem here in Louisville if the people respond to this worthy cause. What we need is more spirit, fire and sentiment in our religion, and we can get it by practicing some of the Christianity that we preach. Here is a chance to demonstrate it". (Continued on page 8.) BLACK AND WHITE AROUSED FOR SIMMONS (Continued from page 1) Speeches were also made by Mr. Wood Axton, who after his speech followed by very touching song selections, subscribed $500.00 and Mayor Houston Quin. $250,000 Will Be Raised The Monday night's meeting has more life and greater determination on a part of those who have been busy in the campaign from the start to do all within their gift to help put the effort over the top, and it is the consensus of opinion that notwithstanding the indifference of some of those of the race, the narrowness and littleness of some of those who, in a large measure, form a part and parcel of the University, the failure of some of the leaders of the faith of which the institutions is greatly a part, to co-operate does not hinder to a notable degree. There are certain white and colored citizens among whom are Methodists, Baptists, Democrats and Republicans, and other religions and political faiths, who are big enough to come together on an educational plan, and they are going to raise the $250,000.
